Canadian pipers in World War I
The Canadian Pipers in World War One were soldiers who contributed to the First World War by playing the bagpipes as they marched the troops to the front (military). These men were often members of a pipe band, that chose to enlist at the outbreak of World War One to assist with the Canadian war effort. Although most of the pipers were trained to fight, many of them played the bagpipes throughout the war as a way to encourage the troops as they walked into battle.
== Overview of the Bagpipes in Canada ==

The use of bagpipes in wars is believed to have originated from the Battle of Culloden whereby Scottish Pipers would play war tunes while marching their troops into battle. Since the Highland Regiment never went to battle without a piper, the bagpipes in turn become known as both an instrument and a weapon of war.〔Williams, Ian S, “Piper James Reid: Culloden," (), The Pipes of War, 2011〕 The Great Highland Bagpipe, which is native to Scotland and was used in the Battle of Culloden, is the type of bagpipe that the Canadian pipe bands played during World War One.〔Allen, Greg Dawson, () “Pipes and Pipers: Bagpipes in War,” The North Eastern Folklore Archive.〕 After the defeat of Scotland in the Battle of Culloden in 1746, the British sought to destroy Scottish culture by placing a ban on everything in the Highlands, which included the bagpipes. As a result, many Scots immigrated to Canada bringing along their culture and traditions. During the Seven Years' War and the American Revolution, the English government employed Scottish pipers in the Highland Regiments to fight alongside the Canadian troops.〔Stewart, Tim, (), “The Pipes Play On: Canadian Pipers at War, 1914–1918 An Inspired Tradition,” The Journal of Military History, Pg. 58.〕
